Being the Director, Operations of Delhi Metro, Sharat Sharma has a very busy life. When he does take time to travel, he likes to go to "new places and explore them" and capture the moments of his trips through photographs - some of which are now on display in an exhibition in the Capital.

'Inspired to Inspire', which has been curated by his wife, Kamalnaini, features 80 photographs of landscapes and cityscapes from countries such as India, Spain, Switzerland and Italy. The exhibition is his picturesque tribute to both nature and man, which has evolved as and when Sharma and his wife have travelled within India and beyond in the last twenty years.

Sharma says that his need to capture stills arises from the fact that he wants to reproduce what he felt when he went too these places. "I didn't find a better media to do so other than photography," he adds.

In 'Inspired to Inspire', he reproduces nature in the form of mountains India and Switzerland, and reproduces man-made structures like the Lotus Temple in Delhi and the Temple of Debod in Madrid in still images.

His first exhibition, 'A Tryst with Divinity', was displayed in 2014 and was about Indian landscapes. "'Inspired to Inspire' is our second photo exhibition. My wife and I feel that time has come for us start giving back to society. The first exhibition we did raised Rs 4.5 lakhs which we then donated to charities."

For this exhibition as well, proceeds will be given to eight charities such as Salaam Balak Trust, HelpAge India, National Defence Fund and Helping Hand.

'Inspired to Inspire' is on display at The Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, Lodhi Road on February 13-17; 10 am to 7 pm.
